What is the status of the node when you enable the default node monitor??

 

The member status in a pool is a combination of the pool monitor and the node monitor. Both need to be up to mark a pool member as up.

 

In older software versions the default node monitor was set to icmp, newer versions don't have a default node monitor.

 

My advice would be to not use a monitor on the node's.

 

Cheers,
